FILE - In this Oct. 3, 1965, file photo President Lyndon B. Johnson sits at his desk on Liberty Island in New York Harbor as he signs a new immigration bill. It was presented as a symbolic move - President Lyndon Johnson on Liberty Island, signing an immigration bill that gave people from every country in the world an equal chance to come to America. Fifty years later, there’s little that hasn’t been changed as a result of the Hart-Celler Act that Johnson signed on Oct. 3, 1965. A country that was almost entirely native-born in 1965 has a significant foreign-born population; demographic diversity has spread to every region, expanding a black-and-white racial paradigm into a multi-colored one. Americans have gleefully adopted musical genres and foods that have immigrant origins, while remaining conflicted and uneasy politically over who’s here, legally and not. (AP Photo, File)
